RE: BGP on ACRC? posted 05/01/2000

Well, there are no published objectives for the v2.0 exams.  I studied the
1.0 material and took the Routing 2.0 Beta.  Many people came back from the
beta and posted to the list.  I concur with those of the opinion that the
exam is roughly 2/3 BGP, 1/6 OSPF, 1/12 EIGRP, 1/12 misc.

What I cannot believe is that BGP just suddenly came out of nowhere
(relatively) and is now of utmost immediate importance.  So much so, it has
replaced nearly all of the material on one of the 4 exams required for CCNP.

I left the exam in some degree of disbelief.  I am wondering if Cisco was
just testing these new BGP questions with the intent to combine a portion of
them with some existing questions (from the 1.0 exam) to create a more
balanced 2.0 exam.  It will be extremely interesting to see the real thing,
and to see the content of the upcoming books for 2.0.

As far as books go, Bassam Halabi could not have timed his 2nd Edition
release more perfectly.  Link:

Hi David,


Where did you the objectives for the ACRC 2.0 exam ?
I searched the cisco the site and was unsuccessful to find any
detailed objective list like for the previous exam.

Would u mind giving us some insight about the objectives
of these new exam ? Maybe also a book list ?

Thanks in advance.
